It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I'm still getting used to ligatures but so far I'm liking it more than I expected.

Love Fira Code with ligatures

For my taste it looked a little too wide. Not as good as JetBrains Mono.

[–] Dranadia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

+1 for JetBrains mono. Been using it for years now.

I still find Fira Code and Meslo to be better. Nothing beats these 2 fonts.

I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).

But I'm still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.

Edit: fira code, not sans.

I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator

Based on my own experience and years of spectating flamewars I figure somewhere between 40-80% of any programmer's aesthetic preference is familiarity. I use Liberation Mono (probably because it was the default on some ancient version of CentOS or something) and I doubt it'd be anyone's first choice, but every now and then I'll come across something with its own defaults and it just bugs me.

On topic, the most obvious difference between Intel One and Iosevka is the radically different aspect ratio.

Yeah I think the aspect ratio is one of the main problems for me, which is funny because I’ve heard people being surprised when they saw my terminal window that my font is so narrow :p

You'll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!

I’ve been using this for two days now on high contrast mode in Jetbrains IDEs I love it!!

Edit: wait I lied, I’m using Comic Mono, same idea though

[–] Tin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I have Comic Mono too, it's great. I'm using Comic Code for ligature support.
